In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Olly Jacobs (he/him) and Calum Torcasio (they/them) from Moonlit Sanctuary - two zookeepers whose passion for animal welfare and behavior science shines through every word. From early dreams of working with animals to becoming key members of Moonlit's show and mammal teams, their parallel journeys are filled with curiosity, grit, and deep respect for the animals they care for. Olly and Calum share their unique entry points into zookeeping, the roles that education, volunteering, and community played in launching their careers, and how their love for Australia's diverse native wildlife continues to grow. We dive into their creative and thoughtful approaches to animal training, with heartwarming and educational stories - from target and station training a potoroo named Pikelet, to building trust and voluntary cooperation for dingo toothbrushing. This episode highlights: ✅ The power of relationship-based training and consent-driven interactions ✅ How show animals are given choice, control, and a starring role in education ✅ Why tailoring communication to the individual matters - no “one-size-fits-all” ✅ How storytelling, humor, and hope create meaningful conservation messages ✅ Their hopes for connecting audiences, especially children, to native species With humility and humor, Olly and Calum show us what it means to train with intention and heart - making waves not just for the animals they work with, but for the future of conservation.

What if your most powerful leadership tool wasn't in your head, but in your rhythm?In this episode, Bobby is joined by wellness educator and inclusion specialist, Samantha Garstin (aka the Period Princess!) to explore what it means to lead in sync with the natural cycles of energy, focus, and capacity, whether those are hormonal, seasonal, emotional, or simply human. The conversation is vast, including talking about the effects of hustle culture, burnout, and the boldness of listening to your body. If you've ever found yourself running on empty and wondering what's wrong with me, this conversation might just be your turning point. It really is a conversation for everyone.Samantha Garstin - WebsiteSamantha Garstin

Which Moon Knight persona are you? Mark Specter? Jake Lockley? Khonshu? No matter who you can relate to the most, we have what you need. Special guest Tim Riecker joins us as we examine the origins of one of the most unique superheroes out there. Plus, there is a ton of news about upcoming blockbusters, schedules, pregnancies, and more! Jay and Josh bark at the moon on Superhero Suite.

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Moon Knight and all of his personas with his origins and appearances, with special guest Tim Riecker on Superhero Suite.

Moonlit seaweeds. Dreamy underwater forests. Mounds of beach debris. Not plants. Let's talk about where seaweed grows and whether or not it will save us all. Macrophycology means “big-ass algae” so let's join five dazzling seaweed enthusiasts: guest-in-chief Dr. Patrick Martone of the University of British Columbia, UConn Professor Emeritus and “grandfather of seaweed farming” Dr. Charlie Yarish, seagrass scientist Becky Swerida, and marine science PhD students Danielle McHaskell and Angela Jones. We'll chat about what's hidden in its cells, the best ones to eat, how fast it grows, how deep it gets, cold vs. tropical seaweeds, what to do if your vacation pictures feature mounds of sargassum, and whether or not kelp can kill a chicken. In next week's episode, you'll hear all about the aquaculture of cultivating and eating things from the seaweed to shellfish to shrimp farmed in a basement doughboy. Not really a two parter but two episodes that are friends and hang out in the same circles. Visit the Martone Lab and follow Dr. Martone on Google ScholarGet the Seaweed Sorter app developed by Dr. MartoneFollow Dr. Charles Yarish on Google ScholarFollow Danielle McHaskell on InstagramVisit Angela Jones' websiteFollow Becky Swerida on InstagramDonations went to Raincoast Education Society, GreenWave, and Black in Marine ScienceMore episode sources and linksSmologies (short, classroom-safe) episodesOther episodes you may enjoy: Oceanology (OCEANS), Island Ecology (ISLANDS), Cnidariology (CORAL), Tardigradology (TINY SEMI-INDESTRUCTIBLE WATER BEAR MOSS PIGLET CREATURES CALLED TARDIGRADES), Bryology (MOSS), Echinology (SEA URCHINS & SAND DOLLARS), Lutrinology (OTTERS), Ethnoecology (ETHNOBOTANY/NATIVE PLANTS), Dendrology (TREES), Forensic Ecology (NATURE DETECTIVE)Sponsors of OlogiesTranscripts and bleeped episodesBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a monthOlogiesMerch.com has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on Instagram and BlueskyFollow Alie Ward on Instagram and TikTokEditing by Mercedes Maitland of Maitland Audio Productions and Jake ChaffeeManaging Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by Kelly R.

November 2023, I posted on Threads wanting to have more authors come on the podcast. One of those who threw their hat into the ring was Myka Silber. A little over a year later, and I had the pleasure of getting to have them on! Myka talks first about how they started down the author path, from their first writings back in high school, to pandemic lock down writing and self publishing, to their latest works, "Rider's Blood, Moonlit Black", and "The Pigment Thief" We explore "Rider's Blood, Moonlit Black" more in depth, as I read that late last year. We explore how Myka came up the world and characters in this book, and developing it into what it became. Seriously a good read. We wrap up with talking about what's coming next from Myka, and how you can stay up to date with what they are doing. You can find Myka at: https://www.threads.net/@myka.silber https://www.instagram.com/myka.silber/ https://linktr.ee/mykasilber https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/23037288.Myka_Silber You can buy Rider's Blood, Moonlit Black at: https://amzn.to/4gmCDek

Hello and welcome to our holiday episode of Celluloid Pudding. Wherever you are on the globe and however you celebrate this time of year, we wish you love, our heartfelt thanks, and good wishes. This time we--your co-hosts Beth and Sam--decided to discuss a beautiful Korean film called Moonlit Winter. The setting is chilly and wintry, but the heart and soul of the film is warm, complex, generational and lovely. This film is truly poetry in motion. We hope you will come along for the ride and also think about renting the film after our discussion. We do have some bonus content that is a little out there. Waaaay out there, concerning the phenomena hovering over New Jersey and elsewhere. We lead with the so-called orbs, but then get down to business with our snow treasure, Moonlit Winter. A very heartfelt Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Winter Season to all of you from both of us. You mean the world to us.

This week on Anime Pulse we got vtuber awards, anime dragging its feet, and dancing moments. Up first IRL news has Joseph going back to the gym, and Andrew attended a big fighting game event with some of the top player in the world. Then in the industry news the vtuber awards just wrapped up and announced the winner, and Japanese artists on X are up in arms over blackface being applied to Dandadan. Lastly in the reviews Joseph wades through a really lackluster series of events in a fantasy anime to get to the good stuff, and Andrew brews up a barrel of whisky that will be aged for at least 15 years.
